Abstract

A water trampoline including a supporting shell and a plurality of concentrically disposed inflatable rings disposed within the supporting shell to form a stable, low profile buoyant platform. A trampoline mat is attached to an inner edge of the supporting shell to resiliently support it over the central opening of the platform. A zippered access opening is provided on the inner edge of the shell below the trampoline mat to provide access to the inflatable rings.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim:  
     
       1. A water trampoline consisting of: 
       a platform including a supporting shell and three coplanar concentrically disposed inflatable rings having uniform circular cross sectional configurations disposed in generally tangential peripheral contact with one another within the supporting shell, the platform supporting shell having a central opening;  
       a trampoline mat resiliently attached to the platform and being disposed over the central opening in the supporting shell; and,  
       a sea anchor suspended beneath the central opening end including a plurality of downwardly converging straps supporting an inverted truncated cone at a spaced location relative to the upper and lower ends of the converging straps.  
     
     
       2. The water trampoline of  claim 1  wherein the supporting shell includes a closeable access opening disposed to receive the inflatable rings. 
     
     
       3. The water trampoline of  claim 2  wherein the closeable access opening is a zippered opening disposed adjacent the central opening in the supporting shell. 
     
     
       4. The water trampoline of  claim 1  wherein each of the inflatable rings is separate from the others. 
     
     
       5. The water trampoline of  claim 1  wherein hand grips are attached to the supporting shell.
